+/**
+ * Records what the provider picker's popup carried, in the page.
+ *
+ * The exit animation is a 120ms window: the popup starts leaving, the
+ * stylesheet fades it out, and the skeleton unmounts it when the fade is
+ * over. A reading taken across the wire can arrive after that unmount — and a
+ * popup that is no longer in the document has no computed style to read, so
+ * the reading comes back empty and the test fails on a state it never saw.
+ * It can also arrive before the popup has started leaving, which reads as
+ * the entrance animation.
+ *
+ * So the reading is taken where the state changes: the page watches the
+ * popup's own class and records the popup's computed animation-name at the
+ * moment that class changes. The record outlives the popup, so the test can
+ * read it whenever it gets there, and it cannot miss the window.
